    How do you decide what to build next?

    "Oh Mercurial Eye Your absence makes me sigh I miss you more than the ability to fly Without you, my base is a pigsty It looks like it was built by a magpie Oh... Mercurial Eye" ...well, I never said they were GOOD poems.

    How do you decide what to build next?

    Yes, thank god. Pahimar confirmed that the Mercurial Eye will return, back when EE3's thread was only a few dozen pages long and had yet to crush his soul with its legions of whiners. Apparently, it was one of his first suggestions to Xeno, and he loves it too. The Mercurial Eye was my...

    How do you decide what to build next?

    That is exactly what I do. The Wand of Equal Trade is my best friend, and will continue to be until the Mercurial Eye finally makes its glorious, triumphant return.

    How do you decide what to build next?

    Figuring out what to build next can be very hard. I'm often torn between different priorites, but it does ultimately come down to: How can I make my life easier? Usually that means more automation, but sometimes it can mean replacing cobble with something prettier before my eyes start to...

    EMC - EE - Energy Condenser

    Ok, one more, then I'm done... promise. :p Some people do not feel that EE destroys balance, even on a server. I can't speak for myself because I can't be bothered with SMP most of the time, but those people exist, you can tell they exist because they voice their opinion, and your assertion...

    EMC - EE - Energy Condenser

    Well, at least we've come to the core of our disagreement: your conviction that yours is the only opinion that matters while forming doctrine for your self-aggrandizing inquisition of Minecraft purity. I'm less interested in getting you to like EE than I am in persuading you (and others) that...

    EMC - EE - Energy Condenser

    I don't understand why you keep repeating yourself either. The last exchange can be summarized as: Hydra: [Statement]. That's not opinion, that's fact! Others: No, that's your opinion, not fact, because... [reasons] Hydra: [Repeats statement]. That's not opinion, that's simple fact! Saying...

    EMC - EE - Energy Condenser

    I see you're still failing to grasp the difference between opinion and fact, and further failing to internalize the idea that not everyone who played on a Tekkit server felt that EE ruined the game. Just head over to MCF, there are like 100 pages of "Y U REMOVE COLLECTOR NOW MY TEKKIT IS BROKE"...

    EMC - EE - Energy Condenser

    That's still opinion, predicated upon the idea that all players find the game pointless once they had a condenser and collector array set up. That isn't universally true. Look, "the moon is made of cheese" is statement which, upon testing, has a binary outcome. Either the moon is made of...

    EMC - EE - Energy Condenser

    I said resource generation is insignificant in the early game, not that EE was useless. As for kidding myself.. you know what? Screw that sentiment. I'm describing the mod as I experience it. No one can tell me that my experience is less valid than theirs. Well, of course you can tell me that...

    EMC - EE - Energy Condenser

    I respectfully disagree. Achieving rapid EMC generation in EE2 took... a really long time. A single collector required a diamond block to build and wasn't exactly speedy in building up EMC. By the time I fully developed a collector array, I'd hit the endgame with other mods anyway. Me, I start...

    EMC - EE - Energy Condenser

    This. I don't really get how people can say EE has no place in FTB, given how reliant the FTB map was on transmutation with EE2. Anyway, the EMC system in EE3 is supposed to be fully configurable. If you find the exchange rate too forgiving, you can always nerf it into oblivion by tinkering...

    EMC - EE - Energy Condenser

    Those people are welcome to chose to play exclusively with others who share their feelings about balance. They still don't get to tell everyone else the right way to play. For many people, myself included, Minecraft is a mode of relaxation and creative expression. It's fine to play with a...

    EMC - EE - Energy Condenser

    If you think your method of enjoying Minecraft and its assorted mods is the only valid method, you need to rethink how you... think.

    Applied Energistics

    He mentioned it in one of his videos. Apparently thinks it's OP, bafflingly enough.

    Applied Energistics

    I wrote two posts in Word (Arial, size 10) earlier and copy and pasted them into the forum. For some reason, that messed up the font. My other post turned blue. :S Edit: Both posts are now fixed, and easier on the eyes.

    Dumb Modular Powersuit Tricks

    So far I've only got the fall damage, step assist, sprint assist and jump assist modules. Spent all weekend bounding around my base as if the gravity was 1/10th what it had been. I love it! Can't wait to build some of the flight modules... I'll be back once I've drained my world of iron.

    Applied Energistics

    The consensus seems to be that it's overpowered, but having played with it extensively this weekend, I really don't understand that judgment. Not only are all the machines and their components expensive to craft, they also require a ton of Buildcraft power to craft them. Nearly all of AE's...

    The Abandoned Laboratory -- A FTB Starter Map

    I too would be interested in a world download. :)

    In your next Direwolf20 build, will you bother with IC2?

    They aren't that good. More hastle than they're worth.
